We’ve been Sage fans for almost twenty years now - the first rod I built was a Sage nine foot 6 weight, and fished it for years until a buddy was dinking around and lost it out the back of my drift boat on the Snake in Jackson Hole one summer. 

Like all of the graphite rod manufacturers these days, Sage has continue to refine their processes and designs to make rods that seemingly allow you to do impossible things with a line and fly. 

We’ve demo’d this Sage Z Axis 4 weight, and immediately began to covet this rod.  Fine Sage craftmanship and components, with enough backbone to push a big nymph around in the middle of the day, but with enough touch to drop a #24 baetis emerger on the Firehole when they’re being really picky.

We’re hunting up a couple of these blanks to build out this winter, and would bet you’d love this powerhouse 4 weight yourself…..
